EN: continuous sniffling or sniffing
This is pagsisinghot in burst mode. It's not just one sniff, it's a whole series. It's the sound of someone trying not to cry in public, or that kid in class who perpetually has a runny nose but refuses to use a handkerchief. It's the passive-aggressive signal that you need a tissue, stat.
From pag- + si- + singhut-singhot (reduplication of the root singhot).
The repetition implies a continuous or frequent action.
